What Are Overdentures?
Overdentures represent a revolutionary approach to tooth replacement, providing a removable denture secured to your jaw through advanced dental implants. Unlike conventional dentures, overdentures eliminate the need for messy adhesives, ensuring a secure fit that allows you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. Their seamless integration with your natural smile enhances both aesthetics and functionality, offering a solution that feels and looks like your own teeth.
Benefits of Overdentures
An overdenture has become the preferred tooth replacement solution for many patients who are missing multiple teeth. This restoration offers a wide range of benefits when compared to other tooth replacement options, including:
- No messy adhesives
- Comfortable and customizable fit
- Removable for easy cleaning
- More long-lasting and cost-effective
- Allows you to eat your favorite foods
- Speak with confidence
- Doesn’t shift around in your mouth
The Overdentures Process at Brampton, ON, Office
Initial Consultation
The first stage is undergoing a consultation. During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, and Dr. Svoboda will examine your teeth, gums, and jaw to determine the suitability of proceeding with the treatment. If your oral condition isn’t at its best, Dr. Svoboda may also recommend a supplemental procedure before starting the dental implant procedure.
Implant Placement
At your second appointment, we’ll place your dental implants. After the appointment, you’ll need to wait a few months for your implants to integrate with your jawbone (osseointegration) before coming back to our office. During this healing period, we’ll also provide you with a temporary, natural-looking restoration so that your smile looks complete.
Securing Your Restoration
At your final appointment, we’ll secure your permanent dentures to your dental implants, thus completing the procedure. You’ll be able to leave our office with a brand-new smile. That way, you can eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Maintenance and Aftercare for Overdentures
Maintaining the health and longevity of your overdentures is essential for ensuring continued comfort and confidence in your smile. Here are some key tips for proper maintenance and aftercare:
- Daily Cleaning: Although overdentures are securely attached to your jaw, it’s important to clean around the attachments and under the denture base daily to remove food debris and bacteria. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and non-abrasive denture cleaner to gently brush the areas you can access.
- Professional Removal: Overdentures are designed to be removed and adjusted by a dentist like Dr. Svoboda. Attempting to remove them yourself can cause damage to the dentures or your mouth. If you experience any issues or discomfort, schedule an appointment with your dentist for professional removal and adjustment.
- Regular Dental Check-ups: Regular dental visits are essential for monitoring the condition of your overdentures and ensuring they fit properly. Your dentist can also assess your oral health and address any concerns or discomforts you may have.
- Avoid Sticky Foods: To prevent damage to your overdentures and attachments, avoid chewing sticky or hard foods that may cause them to become dislodged or damaged. Stick to softer foods and cut food into smaller pieces to reduce strain on your overdentures.

How long do overdentures last?
Due to having to snap your overdenture in and out of place, it’s common to need a prosthesis replacement. Over time, your overdenture can experience diminished snap retention and perceived looseness. Typically, we recommend replacing the device once every 12 to 18 months.
Can I sleep with my overdenture in?
Yes, you can sleep while your overdenture is in your mouth. Since the device rests on your implants and not your gums, it’s perfectly fine to sleep with them. However, remember to be diligent about cleaning them to ensure you maintain good oral health and keep your prosthetic in great condition.
How do I care for my overdentures?
It’s important to follow a good oral hygiene routine to maintain the health of your smile. This is to avoid cavities and prevent gum disease from developing. The good thing is that overdentures are removable, so you’ll be able to clean them just like you would with traditional dentures. You should also clean around your implant attachments.
Other than that, you’ll be visiting your dentist’s office biannually for professional checkups and cleanings. This is so they can ensure there are no underlying issues with your mouth or overdenture.
Can my dental insurance cover overdentures?
Most insurance companies cover a portion of the cost of overdentures. It’s recommended that you speak to your provider to learn more about your coverage plan. If the coverage isn’t enough, some may also offer flexible financing options so that you don’t delay your treatment any longer.
